  • I just set up Readeck a few weeks ago, and I’ve been liking it. Very minimalist, utilitarian. One feature I’d like that isn’t included is the ability to add specific labels or collections to the sidebar, but that’s my only quibble so far.

    It has an official browser extension for adding urls to it, but if you can’t or don’t want to use that, it has a nice api. I use the api to add bookmarks from my phone using a termux-url-opener script, which is as easy as the extension - just hit the “share” button and select termux, and it does the rest.


  • Navigating around supporting bad actors in the foss community is probably far easier than in the closed, commercial software space, given that all the code, discussion, and money are out in the open.

    Also I think the proportion of fascists and bad actors in the foss community is probably lower than elsewhere in the first place, given that the community is based on the free and open sharing of work and knowledge.



  • I think one of the issues inherent to the node ecosystem is that the coast is never clear. When the ethos is to never reinvent the wheel, and instead pull in a dependency chain of thousands of tiny things made by thousands of people (not necessarily a bad thing, it saves time and lets developers focus on what they really want to do), you’re going to have supply chain attacks that go undetected, because nobody has time to vet every single change to all those thousands of things.


  • The rclone fuse mount is essentially running in the memory of the container, and doesn’t translate back into the filesystem that the host presents from itself into that container.

    Since rclone is available in the debian repos, the simplest and easiest option would be to do the rclone mount on the host and then pass that via bind mounting into the Plex container.

    If you want to keep the rclone mounting containerized though (or if your Proxmox host is clustered, you want to mount it on the host, and you want the mount to be shared between your nodes), you can use rclone’s experimental but built-in nfs server feature: https://rclone.org/commands/rclone_serve_nfs/

    Make sure your 2 containers can talk to each other over a secure network (“this server does not implement any authentication so any client will be able to access the data”), start the nfs server in the rclone container, and mount it via nfs in the Plex container.

    Good luck!
















  • I switched a workstation to Secureblue for the very specific security priorities targeted by that project, but I think for the majority of users, the main reason for not switching to atomic is one you mentioned: why fix what isn’t broken? The main selling point promoted to potential new users seems to be that updates don’t break anything, but I can’t remember a single time since Debian Sarge that an update broke anything for me, and I actually find the rpm-ostree package layering and updating process to be far more of a headache than otherwise.

    Unless it’s prepackaged like a steam deck, moving from the traditional way of doing things to atomic is a major change. Like any major change, people need a good reason to make it, and I think right now the only compelling ones are either hyper-specific (switching to okd and needing to build it on coreos, wanting to move to a specific atomic project, etc.), or just general curiosity.
